A

large erlenmeyer with side port

37
Q

Where are the safety showers? (2)

A

In both corners on the hallway side

38
Q

Where are the fire blankets? (2)

A

In both corners on the hallway side, in the left corner the blanket is to the right of the cart

39

A

On the second station from the left

40
Q

A

To the left of each hood when facing into the lab, and in the right corner by the hallway

41
Q

Balanced reaction for reduction experiment

A

(4) 9-fluorenone + Sodium Borohydride -> (4) 9-fluorenol

42
Q

Reaction with HCl in reduction experiment

A

produce hydrogen gas by reacting with excess NaBH4 and water to produce NaCl, H3BO3, and H2

43
Q

Isolation of oxidation product

A

cold vacuum filtration with Ch2Cl2 rinses, then dried to remove CH2Cl2

44
Q

TLC, effect of polarity of spot on Rf

A

more polar, lower Rf

45
Q

Balanced reaction for grignard experiment (both)

A

Bromobenzene + Mg -> Phenylmagnesium Bromide + Benzophenone -> triphenylmethanol

46
Q

Reaction with HCl in grignard experiment

A

react with excess Mg to produce hydrogen gas

47
Q

Balanced reaction for aldol experiment

A

benzil + 1,3-diphenylacetone -> tetraphenylcyclopentadienone

48
Q

Mechanism of self-condensation, acetophenone

A

OH removes alpha hydrogen -> negative C attaches to carbonyl C, making that O negative -> reacts with water produced in step one to turn negative O into OH, produces OH -> electrons are moved from double bond up to O and OH removes another alpha hydrogen, producing water -> double bonds are made on the original O and from the carbon that kept getting hydrogens removed to carbonyl carbon, OH is leaving group

49
Q

What is the ratio between NaBH4 and its reactants?

A

1:4

50
Q

Define oxidation and reduction

A

Oxidation: Increase O or decrease H, Reduction: Decrease O or increase H

51
Q

Describe the half-cell method for balancing redox reactions

A

balance non H and O atoms -> balance O by adding H2O -> balance H by adding H+ -> balance charge by adding e- -> multiply both half-cells to match

52
Q

What reaction is avoided by keeping glassware dry in the Grignard experiment?

A

RMgX + H2O -> RH + Mg + OH

53
Q

What is the reactivity of halogens in grignard reagents?

A

I>Br>Cl

54
Q

What side reaction does RMgX make during its creation? How can this be avoided?

A

RMgX + RX -> RR + MgX2

Add bromobenzene slowly

55
Q

What is the reaction grignard reagents make with oxygen?

A

RMgX + O2 -> ROOH + ROH + HOMgX

56
Q

Reaction rates double with each ———– increase

A

10*C

57
Q

What are some problems with changing solvents? (for grignard, but could apply broadly)

A

Reactants not soluble, side reactions at higher BP, difficult to remove solvent

58
Q

What is the reaction that occurs with the triphenylmethanol to produce a red color?

A

Triphenylmethanol + H2SO4 -> Ph3COH2+ -> Ph3C+ and H2O

59
Q

What are the limitations of an aldol reaction?
